EXPLAINER: What to expect from China’s party congress

Associated Press  

BEIJING — China’s ruling Communist Party is holding its twice-a-decade national congress starting Sunday, at which Xi Jinping is expected to receive a third five-year term as the uncontested head of the party, government and military of the world’s second-largest economy. China’s more assertive foreign policy, sometimes described as the “wolf warrior” approach based on the name of a popular action film, has prompted a backlash from the U.S., Europe and regional neighbors. Xi has shown no sign of a change in foreign policy direction, although China’s sharply reduced economic growth rate and challenges facing his signature “Belt and Road” foreign investment program are seen as reducing his leverage. The party and the congress’s makeup remain heavily dominated by men from China’s main Han ethnic group.
